beyond the table grants: make your idea a reality!

The 2018 Survey Results are in!

Your voice matters. And when we share our voices and listen to each other, we have the power to make our communities great. It simply takes a conversation.

On the Table is a one-day opportunity to gather over mealtime conversations to build personal connections and explore how we can work together to make our communities stronger.

We invite you and your families, neighbors, colleagues, and friends —old and new— to pull up a chair, share a meal, and discuss the ways in which we — as individuals and as a collective — can, and do, work to make our communities stronger.

What is On The table?

On a single day this fall, residents of Richland and Lexington Counties are invited to be part of an exciting initiative to discuss what's great about our community and how we can make it even better— more generous, vibrant, and engaged.
